Believes, Dr Praveen Venkatagiri, Consultant Neonatologist, Ovum Hospital, CMH Hospital and Head of NCRI Neonatal Network. Dr Venkatagiri, in an interaction with Ekta Sriavstava, Health Technology, talks about the importance of Neonatal Care and the role of Ovum Hospital in providing quality healthcare
What is the concept underlying Ovum Hospital Pvt Ltd? Any model that you emulate?
Maternal and Child health care is an important element in the health care. For many years maternity hospitals have been serving patients. Recently more corporates are focusing on maternal care as a single specialty hospital. This has improved the quality of care provided to the patient. However, the cost is very high.
Ovum wants to bridge the gap between quality and affordability. Ovum has improved the quality of care compared to the general nursing homes in the peripheral part of Bangalore by ensuring 24/7 availability of doctors, trained nurses and high quality equipment. However, Ovum has reduced the cost to the patients compared to the other corporate hospitals by focusing more on "Medical care" rather than luxury.
Ovum focuses on protocols and guidelines to ensure highest quality of care is given to the patients
What are the centers of excellence at your hospital? Your opinion about the emergence and growth of single specialty hospitals?
High risk newborn care (NICU) – We have, over the last 2 years, taken care of premature infants as small as 500 gms at birth and born at 23 weeks of pregnancy (Normal is 37 to 40 weeks). We have developed teams who work relentlessly to save the most vulnerable infants.
Fertility treatment – IVF treatments – In the field of IVF, we bring international expertise and transparency. We believe that couples go through emotional, social and financial stress to conceive and we provide trust and best practices to ensure high rate of success.
Health problems could be segregated as General, single specialty and multispecialty hospitals. Single specialty hospitals would reduce the unnecessary exposure of the patients to various illnesses which would happen at multispecialty hospitals. Doctors and Nurses at single specialty hospitals would be more trained and the care would be better. Majority of cases could be managed in single specialty hospitals. However, about 5 % of cases would need other specialists' inputs and hence need multispecialty care.
What are the technological advancements your hospital has introduced lately in different verticals? Your core strengths?
- We use incubators and ventilators which are capable of handling all the medical conditions faced by extremely premature infants
- We have special transport incubator facility to ensure safe transfer of newborns from distant places
- We have the facility to do total body cooling treatment for newborn infants who have suffered brain damage
- We are developing certain latest technologies in association with certain companies to get better monitoring and results for the newborn infants
- We follow best proven practices advocated by international professional bodies like delayed cord clamping, Kangaro Mother Care and best perinatal medical interventions
- Our core strengths are
- Excellence in newborn care
- Constant training and updating of teams of doctors and nurses to ensure highest quality of care is given to the patient
What specific skills are needed for working in NICU?
Neonatal Intensive care requires significant amount of hard work as these newborns are very vulnerable and can deteriorate any time. As they do not express themselves constant monitoring is required and we try to emulate the care given by the mother in her womb.
To ensure efficient care, there is a need for years of experience in handling these small infants.
Team work is essential as health care requires team work. Unless team functions effectively the outcomes will be poor. Doctors and nurses have to support each other by understanding each others strengths and weaknesses. Coordination during emergency is the key
What are your expectations from the new government? Will it transform the healthcare sector?
India's GDP is improving steadily. But, in some parts of the country nearly 40 out of 1000 newborns are dying before they reach 1 month of age. Neonatal intensive care is cost intensive because of the requirement of high technology equipment and trained people.
Governments across the states have spent significant amounts of money on the equipment but key remains in lack of teams to ensure delivery of care. There has always been resistance in taking up private partnerships in healthcare. I hope the new government will understand the importance of structured frame work that the corporates could bring in along with regular training which will benefit the health care workers. We hope that they will start partnering more with private corporations in ensuring high quality of care to the patients
How is the flow of international patients and how good is medical tourism at Ovum Hospital? Your suggestion to make India a healthcare destination?
Maternity and Neonatal fields are not elective treatments and hence patients would not have time to choose the place. Hence international tourism will be minimal. However, IVF is starting to attract patients from the Middle East and Mauritius.

Incorrect prescriptions leads to claim
"Mrs L" of Manchester was given a prescription by her Doctor.
When she went to her local pharmacy, they dispensed the wrong medication – that is, she was not given what her Doctor had written on her prescription.
After four weeks had passed, she began to suffer from the serious side effects of the drugs she had been given. She went to her local hospital in some distress, where a nurse spotted that she had been supplied with the wrong medicine.
As soon as she stopped taking the drugs, she began to feel better.
We pursued a claim against the pharmacy for her, using a copy of her prescription and the remainder of the drugs she had been prescribed as evidence.
The pharmacy denied liability and we spent several months fighting the case on our client's behalf. Eventually, we obtained over £2,000 in compensation for her.
Fortunately, the drugs she had taken did not cause her any permanent damage.
If you believe you may have a victim of the incorrect administration of medicines or treatment contact us now for a no obligation chat.

Reading into the New Year!! Whether you start five minutes before midnight or hours before, you can join me in Reading into the New Year. If you have kids, you can even involve them by reading them a picture book or having the family join you. The point is to read as it turns from 2010 to 2011. Whether it's just a half hour or 5 hours.
Since I'm a librarian I'm always looking for ways to promote reading and thought this was a fun idea for those of us that stay home on New Years Eve.
So, if you want to join me, go ahead and post about (if you want to) - please steal the button above to! There's a Mr. Linky below to put your posts!
I'll be working on my New Years Resolutions today too and will put a linky up for that if you want to share your own (I promise to comment).

Bridgeport Reservoir Fish Report for 4-24-2018
Bridgeport Reservoir Opener Preview
Bridgeport Reservoir - Bridgeport, CA (Mono County)
by Tom Loe
It has been a number of seasons since BPR has been in such great shape to kick-off the opener. We are excited to see how this fishery has come back from the drought. Water clarity is great, & the lake near capacity with all the ramps, & boat docks operating. BPR will fish much like its big brother Crowley with respect to locating trout in deeper water, as opposed to cruising the submerged creek channels during the heat of summer. Rainbow Pt, the drop-off in front of the BPL Marina and RV Park, & the ledge around the public boat launch near the dam are historically where the trout congregate during the opening weeks of the season. Chironomids are not as prevalent on BPR; however they are a main food source until the callibaetis mayflies begin to pop in late May. The key to finding trout here is locating a weed free, mud bottom in the 15-20 foot range. I suggest you use the same still water nymph patterns as you might try on Crowley. There are also opportunities to troll streamers with a full sinking line around the marina. Fish are planted at least bi-weelky, and these rascals are more opportunistic than the holdovers on CL. Spruce-A-Bu's, Loebergs, Punk Perch, Agent Orange, & Crystal Leeches will get grabs. Use the darker colors in low light periods.

Maine Striper Fishing Continues Into October
The Striper fishing here in midcoast Maine remains strong...We've been seeing good numbers of fish on the Kennebec river. Loads of bait is dropping downriver and hungry Striped Bass are lining up on the ledges to gorge. Huge schools of spike mackerel continue to roam just offshore...juvenile herring are dumping out of the Major rivers in huge schools....couple this with very warm water temps and it sets the stage for a couple of more weeks of great fishing...Most of the fish we're seeing are on the plus side of 30 inches, which makes for great sport on fly and like tackle. The morning runs have been chilly...we're no longer in hawaiian shorts and flip flops as we blast down the river in the mornings. The leaves have started to change to brilliant fall colors providing some spectacular scenery and making for some great back drops for big fish photo ops.
We recently participated in the 2010 Kennebec Pro-Am Benefit Fly Fishing Tournament...the tourney fleet faced some tough conditions including a long slack tide period but "Team Super-Fly" captained by myself and anglers Jan Leth & Mark Davis managed to take home top honors...angler Mark Davis caught the winning fish with a mere 15 minutes to go before the tourny ended...a fatty 28 incher caught by dredging a 6 inch black snakefly in about 15 feet of water over rocky bottom structure.
We're dialed in on the fish...give us a call before it's too late. We still have lots of great fishing left between now and the end of October so please contact us to reserve a tide or two..

Tyranny of Dragons
Lai Angesstuns Wagons
The dwarf is carrying a load of scented cooking oil and perfume to the rich and dandy of Waterdeep's nobles. She has two wagons, a second driver, and 3 guards plus 2 PC's.
Important People
Lai Angesstun- This gold dwarf is rather talkative about how much money he is going to make off of the aristocrats of Waterdeep to the point of annoyance. Unfortunately his bolstering of his goods has drawn the attention of the cult.
Werond Torohar: a female teamster who seems to have an uncanny knack for handling animals, and difficult terrains seem not to affect her carts. She is a starry eyed romantic.
Sulesdeg the Pole: Human. One of the desert men of Shaar, The Pole is a well known and sought after guard. He is probably the tallest human you have ever seen, standing just over 7 feet 5 inches. He doesn't talk much, but when he does people listen.
Leda Widris: Female human. Leda is from Calimshan to the south and joined up to head north and see what a real winter is.

text: MLSsoccer.com still keeping tabs on Rodney Wallace. Looks like he's left Portugal for Brazilian top league club Sport Recife. I went to the web site and was a little confused at first, there was a guy playing basketball on the front page. Turns out is an actual sports club with several teams. According to Wikipedia: "In addition to professional football, the club also participates in women's football and Olympic sports, such as rowing, swimming, hockey, basketball, futsal, volleyball, table tennis, taekwondo, judo and athletics."
